Let's talk #PHP2Shell, the huge #cybersecurity event of the week. On another social media platform someone asked: “Sorry if this is an ignorant question: Is it possible that this massive level of compromise is largely the work of rogue AI agents?” Read on... (1/6)
Loved this one today from @kellidunham.bsky.social. No lies detected. (Link to full post in the comments.) #nonbinary #dentalhumor
(From early Sept.) Thanks @kellidunham.bsky.social for suggesting I get back into #storytelling at How to Build a Fire, an intimate show hosted by Sophia and Sasha at Brooklyn South Slope's endearingly quirky Open Source Gallery. For me it was a lovely toe dip back into the water.
I am much less concerned about humanity's #useOfAI generally than I am about America's #MISuseOfAI specifically...
Labor Day is about unions and living wages, it's about working class people being celebrated for their genuine efforts, for making an honest living, and for deserving any rewards earned while doing so. In other words it's the American holiday the Trump KKlan believe in the least... 😛

Not a single song in my music library had "Wednesday" in its title. So for Wednesdays I cobbled together all the songs with "hump", "halfway", and "middle" in their titles. I liked the result so I'm sharin'. Let me know what you think. (Spotify link in the comments.) #Wednesday #HumpDay
Feeling stuck? Be kind to yourself. And do one thing better this week than you did last. Just one. #ThePowerOfOne #BeKindToYourself

This made me chuckle having never noticed it before this evening. I wonder: was this the best compromise between organic/inorganic and conventional/unconventional? 🤔😉 #bananas #TraderJoes #DowntownBrooklyn
Here's me guesting with my buddy Joel on his #TennisPodcast 5Love. We kept it light and fun — until I brought up #pickleball! Take a look see. 🙂 (Links in the comments.)
As a *ahem* Joint Base it looks like #LindseyGraham will be filled with both airmen and seamen. Not the first time, eh? Have fun in the 4H (Hell's Homophobic Hypocrite Hacienda) Club, Senator! (As per usual, links in the comments.) #ByeLindsey
How surprising that Satan just recalled not one but two of his best agents here on earth! They’ll surely be missed in the Senate but I’m happy for them — they’re home now. 😜 #ByeLindsey #ByeMitch #SatansFinest

So we limp through this #Bisesquicentennial - that's the actual term for reaching 250 years. Maybe (bi)sesqui was too close to (bi)sexual? Who knows? Anyway, they went with #Semiquincentennial, half of 500. Pretty optimistic, eh? And oh yeah, 1976's #Bicentennial is now retconned as "America 200". 🙄

The 1976 #Bicentennial was an exciting time to be a proud American, esp. us kids too young to fully comprehend Vietnam and Watergate. Celebratory events were on TV, in schools, at parades - everywhere! Fast forward to 2026 and (insert shrug here). We've lost so much in 50 years. #July4thSadness
On his 250th birthday, America is having a moment. He's spitting in the face of his children. He no longer keeps promises to friends and neighbors he kept half his life. He's throwing everyone out the house, including rent-paying family. Just a phase? Is he going through The Change? We shall see...

It looks like NYC midtown traffic and access is going to be a mess tonight because #Commandante 🍊Orange🍊 Chaos is coming to see a #Knicks game. Hope he'll enjoy getting roundly booed by fellow New Yorkers a few times. 👿

So excellent! This is the entire 2 hour #WEBDuBois #AmericanMastersPBS documentary available probably for only a limited time. Link in the comments.
Happy 76th birthday to my favorite artist ever, Mr. #StevieWonder! These are the four Stevie LP's I inherited from my mom.

Happy #WHOniversary to me!! I first discovered #DoctorWho on Saturday, the 27th of March 1982 - and I've never been the same (for the better)! Thanks to broaDWcast.org which allowed me to pin down the *EXACT DATE* I first discovered and watched the show.
"Aristotle said that we become what we do, but before we do, we focus. And the freedom and responsibility of that focus belong to us." A timely post from @sethgodin.bsky.social on focus and what we CHOOSE to focus on. (Link in the comments.) #ChooseFocus #SethGodin
To whomever needs to hear this this week... (It's been a long time since I felt like meme-making. Glad to be back.) #Perfection #EnemyOfTheGood #StarTrek #WrathOfKhan #stwok
I don't normally share a post like this but I am a proud member of the #TraderJoes Tribe and TJ's frozen chicken fried rice and shu mai are involved in this #FoodRecall so watch out. Links in the comments.

"If status and affiliation transform the market for one of our most basic commodities, it’s not hard to imagine what they do for wine, for clothing, or even for smartphones." A nice history/economics lesson on rices from #SethGodin. (Link in the comments.)
Philadelphia legend Isaiah Zagar has passed. What a legacy! He's left an indelible mark on me and so many others who have experienced his visionary artistry. (Bio link in the comments.) #IsaiahZagar #MagicGardens #PhillyArt
My first completed book of 2026, a reread of Madeleine L'Engle's "A Wind in the Door". I remembered precious little about it having read it over 40 years ago, but this little book is a fast-paced timeless adventure which grabs you quickly and confidently in the first few pages. Highly recommended.
